Definitions
- the present invention relates to techniques for delivering information electronically, more particularly, for delivering advice to consumers from a diverse set of experts. Still more particularly, the present invention relates to systems and methods for matching consumers questions with experts, displaying available experts for consumer viewing and selection, providing for compensation from consumers to experts, and providing for the connection between consumer and experts .
- Advice Any needs of the consumer which can be provided for by an expert, including but not limited to conversation, entertainment, sounds or pictures of any kind, text, video, audio. This advice is not limited to that provided by agents regarding company products; it can include medical, legal, educational, travel, entertainment, religious, and other forms of advice. In addition, herein “advice” is meant broadly to include any type of information, comfort, or communication a consumer desires.
- Experts Individuals, companies, organizations, governments, or devices which are able to provide advice to consumers, provided that experts ' initial means to contact consumers is via the server in the Advice Router. Experts' compensation, which may be zero, can come from either consumers directly or from the Advice Router. Collectively, experts represent a broader range of knowledge and experience than do agents which work for a single company. Much as the word “advice” is used broadly, “expert” is meant broadly since many types of information can be given by human beings .
- Agents Individuals, companies, organizations, governments, or devices who, as part of their relationship/employment at that institution, answers questions when connected to his institution's telephone or server, provided that the agent is paid by the institution for that function.
- the advice provided for by agents is generally restricted to that regarding products offered by their respective company.
- Server any device, network or software which connects consumers and experts .
- Query an action initiated by a consumer which includes keywords or other means to summarize their question or need for advice .
- Expert characteristics used for matching with consumers queries. Including, but not limited to one or more of the following: a code name which does not include his real name; keywords of expertise; number of years experience in each area of expertise; degrees earned; number of years of school after completion of high school or college; companies worked for or schools/training programs attended in the past or present; age; language; neighborhood, city, state, and/or country of residence; quality score as judged by previous consumer interactions; compensation rate for consumer advice; and whether the expert is available at the actual moment of consumers query or within 1,2,5,10, 15, 30, 60 minutes.
- Matching a process for scoring and putting in an order of relevance a list or selected list of experts who are likely to be able to answer a consumer's query. Can involve any method of assignment of numbers to the number of keyword matches or matches between ranges of characteristics desired by the consumer with the actual expert characteristics.
- Logged in, or on-line detectable means of communication between server and expert, including but not limited to telephone, Internet telephony, email, audio, and/or video.
- Means to contact any method, information, or technology used to bring together the consumer with one or more experts, including but not limited to telephone, Internet telephony, email, audio, and/or video.
- Means to contact includes telephone numbers (including toll-free and pay-per-call numbers) , email addresses, Internet web pages or sites, videoconferencing details. More preferably, the means of contact includes telephone, Internet telephony, audio, and/or video, and even more preferably Internet telephony, audio and/or video, and even more preferably video.
- the technology to be used for any of the above includes TVs, TVs with set- op web browsers, PCs, telephones, and satellite connections.
- Time-to-connect the period of time between the transmission of the means of contact and the actual connection between expert and consumer.
- the time-to-connect is the period of time beginning when at the consumer's last action (e.g., clicking on the symbol for an expert or his telephone number) and ending when the actual connection is made.
- the time-to-connect is the period of time beginning when the server indicates to the consumer that it is beginning to contact the expert and ending when the actual connection is made.
- Fig. l.a shows the most common arrangement today of the advice business, known as Centralized Advice Sources, where there are a large number of consumers and few agents to help them at each company; this has the general shape of a funnel with too many questions going to too few agents
- Fig. l.b shows a fundamentally new advice technology structure, Diverse Advice Sources, wherein the actual companies selling products are not involved or only peripherally involved. Diverse Advice Sources more evenly equalizes the number of questions in the world at a given point in time with the number of experts who are likely to be able to answer their questions.
- This technology is in an hourglass shape where a large number of experts is available rather than the small number of agents at each company.
- the Advice Router which rapidly facilitates the matching of and connection between consumers and experts .
- 900 phone numbers are limited in scope and consumers hesitate to use them due to high per-minute rates, lack of trust in the billing, and generally perceived notions that the 900 numbers are for less-than-serious concerns such as astrology or sex chat.
- 900 services are small and narrowly focused, without the benefits of the Diverse Advice Sources arrangement, and they did not include matching and/or display technologies.
- the fundamental problem with current advice technologies is that there are a large number of consumers and few agents to help them at each company; this is known as Centralized Advice Sources, and the has the general shape of a funnel with too many questions going to too few agents. This leads to high cost (to pay agents and purchase systems) , slow response time (long hold times on telephone) , and lack of personal service (live agents) . In addition, the agents often can only answer a limited range of questions regarding the companies products. Thus, the participation and control of the consumer advice function by each company is fundamentally hurting the company by frustrating consumers and by requiring it to staff, manage, and pay for a vast and complex undertaking which is outside of its main expertise (making widgets, providing a narrow service, etc . ) .
- AMIX American Information Exchange
- Walker (US 5,862,223) envisioned a similarly complex exchange, often involving several lengthy steps where a user request is submitted; a search of experts, even beyond its members, is undertaken; a portion of the user request (question) is transmitted to the computer-selected expert, etc. until the request if fulfilled.
- Walker col 8, line 49; col 24, line 67
- the user must submit a portion of his question (end user request) .
- the expert and user can communicate in real-time (col 9, line 1; col 26, line 49) , but only after the process of submitting the end user request to the expert.
- the end user calls the central controller and eventually is put in touch with an expert for a real-time connection. No allowance is made for the central controller to make two separate calls (thus connecting the expert and user) after the user selects the expert .
- Walker does not take into account the use of experts as a workforce for customer support. No mention is made of product or service companies issuing certification for experts, and, in turn, those certifications listed or displayed explicitly by the central controller/server . Description
- this invention provides for a fundamentally new advice technology structure, Diverse Advice Sources, wherein the actual companies selling products are not involved or only peripherally involved. Diverse Advice Sources more evenly equalizes the number of questions in the world at a given point in time with the number of experts who are likely to be able to answer their questions. As shown in Fig. l.b this technology is in an hourglass shape where a large number of experts is available rather than the small number of agents at each company. In the middle is a new form of information company, the Advice Router, which rapidly facilitates the matching of and connection between consumers and experts .
- this invention provides for a method of (or apparatus for) facilitating the delivery of advice to consumers, comprising:
- a server unit with the ability to store the names or identification of two or more experts, said experts coded by one or more expert characteristics, said server having the ability to detect which experts are online;
- said server having the ability to display at least one of said expert characteristics with information-rich graphics or symbols;
- said server having the ability to respond to a consumer's selection of expert by either sending the consumer a means to contact expert or by connecting the consumer and expert for real-time communication;
- time-to-connect between consumer and expert is 30 minutes or less.
- this invention provides for a method of (or apparatus for) facilitating the delivery of advice to consumers, comprising: providing a server unit with the ability to store the names or identification of two or more experts, said experts coded by one or more expert characteristics, said server having the ability to detect which experts are online;
- said server unit having the ability to receive one or more keywords from a consumer
- said server unit having the ability to match those keywords to one or more experts and send the consumer a means to contact;
- time-to-connect between consumer and expert is 30 minutes or less.
- Certification tests can take many forms, including but not limited to web-based questionnaires, phone, Internet, or face-to-face interviews, live video connections, etc.
- a company can use authentication procedures (fingerprint, voiceprint, "cookies" the expert's computer, passwords, etc.) to ensure the expert's identity.
- the test and results can be cryptographically transmitted between the company and expert; or between the company and server.
- this invention provides for a matching system or relevance scoring method which finds the best expert to answer a consumer's question. This can involve any method of assignment of numbers to the number of keyword matches or matches between ranges of characteristics desired, by the consumer with the actual expert characteristics. This technology is well known for search engines like Yahoo! for finding matches between a consumer's keywords and web pages as well as eBay for finding matches for merchandise.
- a system and method does not currently exist that allows one to match a wide array of features, including, but not limited to, two or more of the following expert characteristics: a code name which does not include his real name; keywords of expertise; number of years experience in each area of expertise; degrees earned; number of years of school after completion of high school or college; companies worked for or schools/training programs attended in the past or present; age; language; neighborhood, city, state, and/or country of residence; quality score as judged by previous consumer interactions; compensation rate for consumer advice; and whether the expert is available at the actual moment of consumers query or within 1,2,5,10, 15, 30, 60 minutes.
- this invention provides for a system for and method of displaying selected experts to the consumer. This includes, at a minimum, conveying, through means that include but are not limited to telephone, Internet telephony, email, audio, and/or video, a way for the consumer to contact the expert (the means of contact) . It is more preferred for that conveyance to be performed by Internet telephony, email, audio, and/or video. It is most preferred for that conveyance to be performed by audio, and/or video.
- the number of experts presented to the consumer can be at least one. It is more preferred that the number of experts presented to the consumer is at least two. It is even more preferred that the number of experts presented to the consumer is at least five. It is even more preferred that the number of experts presented to the consumer is at least ten. It is even more preferred that the number of experts presented to the consumer is at least 20. It is most preferred that the number of experts presented to the consumer is over 100.
- this invention provides for a system for and method of protecting the privacy and identity of both the expert and the consumer. If the expert prefers, his actual name, address and other information will be withheld from the consumer. Also, individual entries in the expert characteristics list can be shielded from view by the consumer. The consumer likewise can be protected. While privacy has been provided for in commercial/advertising technologies (see Goldhaber, US 5,855,008), the shielding but still utilizing detailed expert characteristic lists has not been provided for.
- DISPLAY In addition to the mere conveyance of the means of contact, it is more preferred for the consumer to be presented with a visual display of available experts. Systems and methods have been used by Yahoo ! and others for displaying game-playing individuals, with information related to availability for a game now, skill level, and code name. No such system or method exists for displaying expert characteristics .
- Display methods include but are not limited to information-rich graphics such as objects with varying color or density, bar graphs, line graphs, 3-D graphs, icons, pictures, photographs, video. All of the above can include animation or motion to attract attention. Words and numbers can be added on or near any of the above to give further expert characteristics. Any of the above can be addressable by mouse/cursor location so that the consumer can easily select which expert to choose or which set of experts to zoom in on and view more closely.
- zoom (magnification) and/or rotation functions can also be used. The zoom function can allow new and more detailed expert characteristics to appear with each increase in magnification. Similarly rotations of objects can reveal more detailed expert characteristics .
- Useful expert characteristics that can be displayed visually include, but are not limited to: the expert's quality (rating) score, whether the expert is online now, or how long until he will be; whether the expert has a separate phone line, and whether it is busy or not.
- a legend can optionally be provided when abstract symbols or colors are used so that consumers can tell what each symbol or color means .
- experts can select their own symbol, pictures, logos, etc. to advertise themselves. These include all of the above options.
- they can use online avatars to represent themselves, with the additional option of the voice and facial expression of the expert transmitted to the consumer via this avatar.
- a special symbol/notation is displayed next to or as part of an experts symbol if he has been certified by selected companies or organizations.
- the symbol/notation can optionally expire, disappear, or change its characteristics (color, etc.) after a certain length of time so that the expert is forced to take tests to maintain certification.
- the display is a map either of geography, system or building architecture or any type of display where experts are, at that time, located or qualified in.
- the map and expert symbols on it is continually updated to see who is online and/or their exact or general location.
- the size of the symbol used for each expert is adjusted as the number of experts online increases so each can be displayed.
- the zoom function allows better viewing of crowded regions of the map.
- This display method can be useful in cases where a consumer only wants information from someone at a particular location, e.g., to determine weather, sport conditions (ski, surf, etc), traffic, delivery/pickup truck availability, nature (animal sightings) , entertainment (club-hopping) , state or city laws, or any kind of location-dependent information.
- non-geographical maps or diagrams can also be used, including but not limited to software architecture, flow charts, graphs, etc.
- location of the expert's symbol is determined by their expertise in a particular subject within that map. In some cases, if the expert is qualified in more than one area, two or more of his symbols may appear in a given map or diagram.
- Graphical displays can be used by the consumer to weigh different features of the experts before making a selection.
- the consumer can be given a choice of 2- or 3 -dimensional, and what the axis of the graph represent: quality score, compensation rate, distance from the consumer, etc.
- the symbols for the available experts in a particular subject area are placed in their appropriate position of the graph and the consumer can see, for example a scattergram and pick a well-rated expert who is not too expensive.
- the display method graphically show at least the following two items: relevance score or order of preference of experts on the one hand, and the time availability of the expert on the other. The latter refers to whether the expert is available at the actual moment of consumers query or within 1,2,5,10, 15, 30, 60 minutes. It is even more preferred that the display method graphically show at least the following three items: relevance score or order of preference of expert, the time availability of the expert, and the compensation rate for consumer advice with that expert. It is even more preferred that the display method graphically show at least the following four items: relevance score or order of preference of expert, the time availability of the expert, the compensation rate for consumer advice with that expert and the quality score as judged by previous consumer interactions.
- the display method graphically show at least the following five items: relevance score or order of preference of expert, the time availability of the expert, the compensation rate for consumer advice with that expert, the quality score as judged by previous consumer interactions, and one item selected from the following list: number of years experience in each area of expertise; degrees earned; number of years of school after completion of high school or college; companies worked for or schools/training programs attended in the past or present; age; language; neighborhood, city, state, and/or country of residence.
- Diverse Advice Sources fundamentally changes the economics of the consumer advice business. As shown in Fig. 1, Diverse Advice Sources replaces the awkward arrangement in Centralized Advice Sources wherein individual companies are expected to pay for consumer advice (by paying their hired agents) when it is the consumer who is benefiting from the advice. Of course consumers had in the past expected companies to pay for this advice, to encourage the consumer to use their product and not products from competing companies. The companies respond by establishing limited consumer advice groups which are highly inefficient and costly to the company. In Diverse Advice Sources, the consumer pays for the advice information packet directly, to either or both of the expert and the Advice Router.
- This invention also includes an alternative case where the consumer does not directly pay either the expert or the Advice Router.
- general advertisements are used to fund the Advice Router, and the Advice Router either compensates the expert for his time, or the expert receives no direct compensation and instead gains some other value (e.g., advertising).
- Unique payment systems and methods used by the Advice Router include but are not limited to the following: a) credit card or (cyber-money) accounts for one or both of the consumer and expert; proper deductions and credits are made to each account after each transaction.
- the means of contact can include a 900 number (or similar per-per-call/pay-per-view technology for the Internet) ; in this case, the consumer simply dials the 900 number given by and controlled or contracted for by the Advice Router, and the expert is paid according to well-known 900 number technology.
- This 900 number technology has been used in the past to provide advice from individual groups, but these activities did not include matching and/or display technologies, nor did they have the benefits of the Diverse Advice Sources arrangement .
- Various payment schemes can be optimized to meet consumer and expert expectations. For example, rather that a flat per- hour, per-minute, or per-session rate, a number of schemes can be used to compensate for the consumer ensuring that the expert is adequate (for example, the first two minutes free) , etc.
- the Advice Router can receive a fee for conveying the means of contact, and/or the connection.
- Advice Router can pay or rebate a portion of the consumer charge if the consumer take some additional action, such as rating the quality of the expert, etc.
- This invention provides for a system and method whereby the server used by the Advice Router can be used for providing for or aiding rapid connections and monitoring of interactions between consumers and experts .
- the server provide for or facilitate a connection within 30 minutes after the means of contact has been conveyed to the consumer. It is more preferred that the time-to-connect is 10 minutes or less. It is even more preferred that the time-to-connect is 5 minutes or less. It is even more preferred that the time-to-connect is 2 minutes or less. It is even more preferred that the time-to-connect is 1 minute or less. It is even more preferred that the time-to-connect is 30 seconds or less. It - is even more preferred that the time-to-connect is 20 seconds or less. It is most preferred that the time-to-connect is 10 seconds or less .
- the connection can include any method or technology used to bring together the consumer with one or more experts, including but not limited to telephone, Internet telephony, email, audio, and/or video. More preferably, the connection involves telephone, Internet telephony, audio, and/or video, and even more preferably Internet telephony, audio and/or video, and even more preferably video.
- the technology to be used for any of the above includes TVs, TVs with set-top web browsers, PCs, telephones, and satellite connections.
- the server can connect both using a two-step procedure wherein two separate and independent transmissions (e.g., telephone calls) are placed and then the two transmissions are joined together. This allows the server to store the expert addresses/phone numbers anonymously and control the connection.
- two separate and independent transmissions e.g., telephone calls
- the server should be able to monitor the interactions to provide for quality control and/or exact payment.
- Joe and Bill Two experts, Joe and Bill, connect to the Advice Router and fill out forms describing their expertise.
- Joe is expert in Microsoft's Word and Powerpoint programs
- Bill is expert in the Word and Excel programs.
- the server detects that they are both logged on. Later that evening, Bill is busy with a consumer for a period he estimates will be 15 more minutes. Joe is free.
- David a consumer, logs on and fills out a keyword query list that best suits his question: how to turn off the automatic spellchecker in Microsoft Word. He also gives his VISA credit card number via a secure link.
- the relevance score for both is 1.0 (optimal) since both are experts in Microsoft Word. Both experts also charge the same rate, $1.00 per minute.
- a small box in Joe's area is clearly green and easy to read - this box corresponds to the fact that Joe is available at this instant to speak to David. (David does not select Bill since the red color in his box corresponds to a 15 min. wait or more.) David clicks an icon in Joe's box and a second or two later, a streaming real-time video of Joe appears on David's PC, and if David's PC is so enabled, Joe sees David in his PC. They spend five minutes solving David's problem and log out.
- David Prior to logging out, however, David receives a $0.50 rebate on the cost of the connection by rating the quality of Joe's help, from 0 for "awful" to 10 for "great”.
- the cost of David's call is $5.00 minus $0.50 or $4.50; in his case, this is added to his monthly $50-$100 phone/Internet bill.
- the Advice Router deducts $1.00 from the net $4.50 received and remits $3.50 to Joe. If David had not elected to receive the $0.50 rebate, the Advice Router would have made $1.50 on the call.
- the Advice Router takes out 30% before paying the experts .
